88VTpathy Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I've noticed some peeps have some snorkels on their rigs, but can't seem to find any. Can anyone help me out w/ a link? I'd prefer not to have to redneck engineer it, but if needed, ductape has always been a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89_trailboss Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 there is NO snorkel that you can buy for a VG30i. the arb will mount up, but you will still have to make a custome airbox for it. I rednecked a snorkel for my VG30i. it works great. but theres no real use unless your ECU is relocated and you have electric fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No real use period for the 87-89 engines. Air filter housing isn't water tight, so you'd have to replace that like trailboss did. Plus I think there's something else that would need to be sealed but I can't think of what it is right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88VTpathy Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Figured as much, almost drowned the pathy today and figured I'd give it a thought. OH, and FYI if you ask your co-pilot which hole is deeper, and he says... I dunno the left one. Get a stick and check, or just go around till you know.

88pathoffroad Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The airbox on a VG30i can be waterproofed. I shaved and sealed mine without doing too much to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you say before that you'd have to weld some stuff shut to make these engines waterproof? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I *did* weld a couple of things on mine, but you could do the same thing with silicone and some booty-fabbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88VTpathy Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ahhh silicone, my favorite thing next to duct tape sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just get a 2" clamp on plumbing cap and plug off the hot air pickup and then remove and cap the vac line to the actuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
